is making on this, to do the same thing in the united states, to reach 80% to 90% of the population in prime time would cost millions and millions and millions of dollars. just one ad on one night in this country costs $135,000 on average. all in to have that impact in the u.s. would be at least $7 million and could be multiples of that. the bottom line, the obama administration is all in on convincing pakistanis that the u.s. government is not bad. it's a complicated relationship and it's one of the major national security issues of this election. fran townsend is national security contributor and a member of the dhs and cia external advisory boards. fran, always good to see you. so this video, i mean, this is a big bet, prime time in pakistan, you're not going to miss seeing barack obama and hillary clinton. 150 million people. is this going to do any good? >> i don't think so. i mean, it's a little mystifying to me because what you're trying to do is persuade people that you already know don't trust you and don't believe you, and so this is going to be viewed -- why they don't think

in the aftermath, the united states had a bead on four and very good information on one. but there were also information and there was some activities obviously from the libyan authorities as well. >> so, let me ask you, jeff porter, about something that eli just said. advanced military assault. precision aimed rockets. this isn't something you just do because you feel like it. >> right. you know, but it's important to understand about the libyan security environment that it's very porous. there's abundant weaponry. that's all been stolen from gadhafi's arsenals during the revolution. there is in security services. so, when we talk about preplanned, we have to decide whether it was something that had been planned months in advance, weeks in advance or something that was hastily put together, a couple of cell phone calls half an hour before. they knew ambassador stevens was there and seized the moment. so it may have been planned, but 30 minutes beforehand. >> and of course we get into the whole question of immediate aftermath. when did u.s. intelligence now, when did they
